Two Outfits (Deconstructed)...

I'm a bit of a creature of habit when it comes to outfit construction. My childhood dream was to go to a private all-girls school, not for the promise of a top-notch education but because I could wear a uniform. Bliss.

I do try; but not wearing the same thing every day takes a concerted effort, and when I just can't pull it off I tend to rely on "mixing-up" my accessories to create the illusion of change (even if I've actually been wearing the same black shirt or dress, or pants for three days running...thus my love of a good necklace).

But lately I've sort of flipped my strategy a bit and instead of mixing up the accessories, I've been mixing up the clothes (!) and keeping the extras consistent. (First the red lipstick, now this...I'm livin' la vidaloca here friends). This week's outfits (a twofer!) are an example of my daring new approach...or they're just evidence of my immense fondness for the turquoise necklace and slouchy hobo bag. You decide. ;-)

love that necklace! how is it that you're not melting in that chambray + jeans look? i almost cried the other night at the prospect of going to dinner in jeans (turns out i found a dress that was hiding in my closet)...its SO hot here in austin! oh and maybe i had similar uniformed daydreams as a girl... :)
